Hello, I read the gcc installation guide again and realised that I should have used a separate subdirectory, something like objdir, for the output. I did this and used the following commands $../srcdir/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu $make I still cannot generate a gcc. Please advise.
